Is she getting big, or what??
And, lest you think she is always sunshine and rainbows….pitiful, isn’t it? 
So Matt calls me in the middle of the day today.
There I was, driving along with Rebecca-Linh, on my way to pick up P-Bo from school, when I hear Matt’s hushed-because-I’m-at-work voice breathe huskily through the phone:
“I got a boner.”
Needless to say, I snapped to full attention. “Uhhhh…come again?”
There was a pause, and then again, a bit slower this time:
“I. got. a. boner.”
Now, I’m not saying Matt is not a spontaneous fellow, and I’ll admit he can be downright romantic at times, but this was more than a little bit unusual. I turned the car radio down, tried to ignore the slight hum of the cell phone static, and asked once more:
“I’m sorry Matt…you WHAT?”
“A BONER. I just got my quarterly boner.”
Still took a moment of utter speechlessness until suddenly… Ah HA! BONUS! He’s at work and he got a BONUS!
So congrats, Matt, and thanks, Matt’s employer.
Whew. Sure did dodge that bullet. (And still biting my tongue over smartass “quarterly boner” jokes. Just too easy.)
well, having a quarterly boner is only a 25% effective method of birth control.
[...] I were determined to make it to to both! Matt’s company had given him a generous little travel boner, er…bonus, that would cover our airfare, so we started making plans. We decided to try and [...]
Because the child I’ve had the past couple of days sure doesn’t act like my Bailey!
Not only did she not cry at the gym on Monday, last night she slept from 8:00-5:30…and in her OWN bed!! Not that I got any sleep, mind you. Her big brother was up twice (very unusual
) and I had my ear glued to the monitor all night, certain that I would hear baby rumblings at any moment.
Perhaps we are turning a corner with sleep. We just started making an effort to keep her in her own bed last week. She is just climbing/crawling all over the place and I really don’t want her to go overboard in our bed. So maybe this is just what she needed, her own space. More likely, it was a total fluke and I have now jinxed myself for many, many sleepless nights to come.
Good job Bailey! Dario will happily nap in his crib for hours during the day but if I put him in there at night, even dead asleep, he’s up within 15 minutes. I think the anti-crib radar is genetic or something.
Yayyy! You can finally get some needed z’s. She is just getting cuter and cuter. I didn’t think it was possible.
Hey Janica, just found your blog and wanted to say hi! Bailey is a doll and I’m so pleased for you and your quarterly bonus.
